[urq] I was spotted

[Peter]

Let's face it; it's the bastard child.

I had a similar situation happen to me this past summer. I traded for a '64
356SC Porsche a couple years ago. I immediately damaged the front end and
seized the motor and thence put it into storage. I decided to sell it on
E-bay and you would have thought I was selling the map to some lost
treasure. The interest was unbelievable and finally ended up with a huge
sale price (quadrupling my money) to some guy in Belgium. I have never
understood it. The URQ doesn't have a chance against the mystic of it's
sibling yet the engineering has been proven supurb. Go figure. PC

We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not
unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands
of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what
we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.
